One big flaw of the iPhone is the typing.
You never type fast enough, your fingers are too big, you may not like the touch screen or you do too many mispellings or spaces missing and you don’t want to spend time to correct them.
There is a nice built-in function that will help you typping: keyboard shortcuts can help you !
It’s easy as 1, 2, 3!

Go to “Settings“

Then choose “Keyboards“

and start working on your shortcuts.
Some examples, I use:

onw meaning “on my way” (already build in)

mp meaning “my pleasure!”

ty for “thank you”

dnd (for “don’t disturb”), that will be replaced by “I’m in a meeting, can’t talk now but will call you afterwards”

Be creative and you will find yours very own shortcuts.

Also, if you are still looking for sweet emoticones,

Go to “Settings“

Then choose “Add a new keyboards” And choose “Emoji“

To use your emoticones while typing, just tap the “world-key” left to the spacebar and the Emoji keyboard will pop up.
